A
Yet
fewer

of
blood
are
collected
in
the
region
annually
and
whereas
some
thirty,
eight
percent
of

Yet
fewer

eight
percent
of
these

a
need
for
civic

is
Sarah
dance
and
with
the
American
Red
Cross
blood
services
here
in
the
Northern
California
region.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
too,
mayor
wayne
in
the
city
council
for
recognizing
the
importance
of
national
blood
donor
month.
The
holidays
and
winter
months
are
traditionally
the
most
difficult
times
to
maintain
an
adequate
blood
supply.
Your
support
is
appreciated.
It
takes
about
an
hour
to
donate
a
pint
of
blood.
Yet
it
may
be
one
of
the
most
important
things
you
do.
One
donation
can
help
save
the
lives
of
up
to
three
people.
B
Organizations
in
san
bruno
sponsored
for
blood
drives
in
2009,
producing
172
pints
of
blood,
and
that
means
that
as
many
as
five
hundred
and
sixteen
people
may
have
been
helped
through
this
life-saving
act,
please
call
one
eight
hundred
give
life.
That's
